I'll help you translate this:
What materials do you think this drawing is done with? And what is the modern equivalent of that material that can be purchased in dickblick?
Here's my best drawing from college.
Should I continue my studies, or am I too mediocre and should just try something more lucrative?
Haven't practiced in months because I feel like there's no point.
>>2582973 man why do people pay for this shit
>>2582973
what year was this? I would quit arts college if I were you tbqh. Otherwise you really need to step your game up, by a lot.
>>2582997
First year second semester. Haven't been in school for about a year because I felt like I had no chance professionally. It was a Uni tho, not just an art school.
I wanted to draw a graphic novel, sort of as a summer project, to pass the time, but have never done one before.
I wanted to ask you for any tips, what the theme or story line could be, and what types of books/ paper would you recommend?
Post anything you made!
>pic unrelated
>>2582929
I'm doing the same, anon! I'm doing all traditional, cus digital comics make me wanna throw up. oversaturated.
>>2582929
Learn about paneling first and foremost.
Story and themes are completely open ended. Do whatever you want to write about.
Just read this article and wanted to know what /ic/ thinks about publicizing their work via vandalism/graffiti etc. 'There's no such thing a bad publicity,' but as an artist do you think this can challenge your career as an artist? Not saying this chick's art was any good imo, but Banksy's art is doing well/popular.

If her work was any good do and she didn't actually put her instagram name in do you think this would become more or less acceptable?

Drawing on a building is going against the establishment and fighting the man.
Drawing on rock is hurting mother nature by degrading and sullying her natural beauty.
Man bad, nature good.
What's so hard to understand?
>>2582863
/thread, though it's about more than just nature. This bitch would paint on the side of the Parthenon, banksy just paints derelict alleys and bland cinder block
>>2582863
I agree with you, I just wanted to see what /ic/'s opinion was. I suppose if this were to be on a wall of a building it would be more acceptable rather than an old ass rock formation.
Kinda reminds me of this

>in love with my art and making art
>come time to share it: anxious anxiety
do u no what i mean?
Why do you care what other people think? It's shit anyway. Be analytical about your own work and maybe in the future you'd have enough confidence. Just imagine all the likes on Facebook. You could buy the whole earth with those likes.

I want to commission some artwork and I would like to browse through a bunch of portfolios to see whose styles I like. How is this generally done? I'd like to avoid trawling through terabytes of Sanic fan art and furry porn if possible.

How much are you willing to pay?
What do you want made?
>>2582487
Anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple thousand. I am looking for an illustrator for abridged books.
I am a season worker, so I'll be unemployed for the next two months. I am planning on using my time most effectively to hone my skills. I want to work out a plan. obviously everone works differently, but I guess this would be a good place to share some ideas and inspirations of how you guys, or some other famous artists work on a daily/weekly basis.
I am going to visit figure drawing classes and I want to study anatomy, perspective, animation, do gesture drawings, increase my visual library, ...
>>2582458
joseph zbukvic work is what got me into watercolor.
>>2582458
First tell me what's your end goal. And which artist you wanna draw like. (example would be: I want to draw fanart like sakimichan) Also post some examples of your art, so I can give you specific advice.
What do you guys think of the current trend of abstract acryllic/oil splattered on paper and then inverted and edited in photoshop. Artists like Michael Cina and Jack Vanzet, this stuff is everywhere from shitty EDM singles to instagram pages spewing 15 pics a day. It has been around for a while in Ghostly work and is kind of reaching its limit in what can be done.
>>2582407
Literally never heard of it. Sounds like you can just avoid gay af raves if you don't like it.
I think it's derivative from the TedX philosophy of "anyone can be a creator. Be unique. Express yourself". It's art without thought, which is how I would define kitsch.
>>2582407
Does it have anything to do with inflation fetishism?
I am very slow on my drawings because I'm afraid of fucking up and feeling like I wasted tons of time on a ruined drawing.
When I make a unredeemable mistake, I used to freak out and shred the paper or put it into a paperball and throw it away as my blood boiled. Now I'm more calm, and I only fold it in 2 so I never see it again.
This fear of messing up really slow me down, I draw for like 10 minutes and I stop. I need to think a lot to do something very basic like drawing a line with the ink over the sketch made with the pencil
>>2582332
even masters made mistakes. get over it.
>>2582332
what media do you use? it's very important because it affects the mind set you approach your work with
to train your confidence use a medium where you can't erase. Even if getting good in that medium is not your end goal, the knowledge you gain in it carry over. You could try charcoal since it's so black, or brush pens, or force yourself not to use ctrt+z if drawing digitally
if pencil is all you got, force yourself not to use eraser unless you want to make an highlight or something like that. And do not chicken scratch, know where your line is going to end before you start doing it, regardless if it's construction line or trying to find a form
>>2582332
and forgot to say OP,
flash us
it's always good to see the level you are at to know what kind of advice to give. We might even talk hours on a problem which you describe bad so we give bad advices for your situation, there is no one size fits all in art.
What do you guys think of my shitty Super Meatboy and Bit Trip Runner/Commander Video drawings. lol, gimme your honest opinion, but keep in mind that this was the first time I ever drew a character from something/somewhere, usually i just draw shit like iphones, or calculators. lol
Needs loomis
>>2582308
what is loomis, srry its my first time on this board.
I'm so fucking burnout of drawing /ic/, what do you do to gain energy back or what do you do while waiting for it to come back.
I was thinking of playing vidya or watching a movie but I fear that it may distract too much and forget about drawing for the rest of my day.
>>2582244
do some light reading. go outside/chill with friends. serious about the outside one. getting out in the sun helps a bunch. I can't stand being in all day. otherwise i get burnt out and implode a bit.
Get up, walk around for a little bit, and grab a snack. Something with plenty of glucose, but preferably slow burning rather than just sugary garbage foods.
The brain is a muscle and it requires a lot of energy - mentally straining activities are physically draining on your resources. Food and sleep are what replenish this - mindless activities don't 'recharge' you, they just deplete less. That's why I say you should always do your most important / cognitively straining activities at the start of your day and leave the brainless leisure for winding down.
>>2582246
Is also right. Getting outside can be huge. If the weather is nice take a half hour walk.
>>2582244
buy a summer house. its great. totally silent and you can focus easily
What do you do to advertise your commissions?
Use every form of social media you got?
Join groups created for ad purposes?
Use only art websites to advertise?
Let random people find you and ask without actually advertising?
Also, what are your prices and about how much would you say you make a month doing commissions?
{That's not my commissions page btw}
-Thanks
Oh. And if you have a commission page like this. Please post it. I like looking at everyone's setups.
>>2582216
They could easily add $5 to sketch, $5. To live cost and then $10 to the colour ones.
Anyways I don't do commissions because I'm a shit
People charge way too little for commissions, no wonder artists don't make any money
Can someone please, PLEASE explain to me hot Rothko is good in any way. I trust there must be at least someone here who has studied art history and can tell me how the bloody hell Rothko became so famous and well-known in the first place. How is he a visionary? If the answer to that is "Well, because he did something completely different and gave the art world a completely new direction." then that answer doesn't satisfy me. In my opinion, something doesn't have to be good just because it is NEW and BOLD.
I'm not a Rothko hater, I'm not an anti-progressist, I'm not one of the crazy art people who say that anything that is not classical beauty (or imitating classical beauty, like fucking kitschy Bouguereau) is not art.
I am genuinely curious how Rothko made a name for himself in the art world. I would also like to hear any Rothko enthusiasts with their defense and their reasons for why they enjoy looking at this guy's colourul rectangles.
Just to prove how I'm not a general hater of modernism, I fucking love Bacon. So feel free to also post your favorite works of his.
The sublime.
>>2582178
Please, I'm a blockhead. Bring more details.
